Commission-free bookings: filling more never costs you more
€49 a month per restaurant. That's it. No commission on the diner who sits down, none on the booking that comes in, no percentage of the check: a packed Friday costs exactly what a quiet Tuesday costs, and the tables you fill with your own effort stay 100% yours. We build it at Alture, in Granada, so when you call, the team that codes the product picks up. Try it free for 30 days, no card.
Commission-free: €49 in a slow January, €49 in a packed August
Commission-free means Qomanda takes zero cents when a reservation comes in and zero when a diner sits at your table. Nothing per cover, nothing per booking, no percentage of the check. Your fee is fixed: €49/month per restaurant, whether you fill 200 tables or 2,000.
A per-diner commission is a marketplace thing: portals where a guest discovers your restaurant, books from the portal's own site, and you pay for every cover you seat. Other management software charges a fee instead of a commission, but doesn't show the price. Qomanda does both at once: zero commission and €49 out in the open, right on this page.
"Free to start, but with commission" isn't free: it's an invoice that shows up on the very night you bill the most. With a flat fee, that night is entirely yours. Start with 30 days free, no card.
The full comparison, nothing hidden.
| Feature | Qomanda | Commission marketplace (e.g. TheFork) | Fee-based software (e.g. CoverManager) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat €49/month | Per-diner commission (+ optional visibility fee) | Monthly fee (price not public) |
| Per-diner or per-booking commissionThe per-cover commission is a marketplace thing: fee-based software like CoverManager doesn't charge it either. The difference there is that Qomanda shows its price. | €0, and out in the open | ≈€1.50–€4 per diner | No per-diner commission; you pay a fee (price not public) |
| Cost when you fill upYour best month should improve your margin, not somebody else's invoice. | Doesn't rise: still €49/month | Rises: you pay for each diner | Doesn't rise per diner (it's a fee), but the price isn't public |
| Brings new diners from its portal?Its portal captures people who don't know you: that's its strong point. What doesn't get said is that the acquisition is paid for on every visit, including once the guest is a regular of yours. With Qomanda, coming back is free. | No: your engine, your traffic, your guest | Yes: its marketplace drives discovery | No: it's management software |
| Track record and integrationsVeteran platforms have years and integrations behind them.

Comparison as of 2026 based on public information.

The per-diner commission trap: the fuller you get, the more you pay
A per-diner commission turns your best night into your most expensive invoice. According to industry sources, the big portals charge between €1.50 and €4 per diner in Spain, and most contracts sit at the upper end. At €3 per cover and 20 diners a day through the platform, that's roughly €1,800 a month in commission alone, plus a separate visibility fee of between €100 and €350 a month.
And it gets worse: the commission is calculated on the price before discounts. If a diner arrives with a discount from the portal's loyalty programme, you collect a smaller check and pay commission on the full price. The model punishes you precisely when you work hardest.
With a flat fee it's the opposite: every extra table you fill improves your margin instead of eating it. €49 is €49 in a slow January and in a packed August. Your cost per booking falls the more you use Qomanda; with a per-diner commission, it rises with every cover that sits down. Set it up today and check it against your own numbers: 30 days free, no card.
Your engine on your site, and the whole floor on one screen
Qomanda charges no commission because it doesn't stand between you and your diner. It's your own booking engine, embedded in your website with an iframe in 12 languages that auto-detects the guest's. The booking happens on your turf, under your brand, and the customer's data is yours from the first second.
From there you run service in real time: day and month views, inbox, a floor plan you can edit table by table, shifts and capacity, a CRM with 14 allergens, notes and VIP tags, waitlist, no-show and occupancy analytics, and your Google reviews built in. All from your phone, even mid-service.
No-shows? Switch on whatever you like, whenever you like: card deposits and holds via Stripe — charged on your own restaurant's account —, SMS reminders and a voice bot that takes phone bookings while you serve.
We charge you for the software, not a toll on every customer you earn. That's why the price is fixed, and why our job is to make the tool good enough that you renew every month. Start with 30 days free, no card.
The portal acquires once. And charges you forever
A marketplace does something Qomanda doesn't: put you in front of people who had never heard of you. Portals like TheFork have their own audience browsing for somewhere to eat, and that first visit is worth money.
The problem starts with the second. That diner stays in the portal's database, comes back through its app and pays commission again. And again. You end up paying for the discovery of someone who discovered you two years ago.
Qomanda turns the traffic you already have into bookings: your website, your Google listing, your Instagram, word of mouth and, above all, the people who would have come back anyway. None of those bookings costs you commission, and every one leaves the guest in your CRM, with their history and their allergens, ready for you to fill next Tuesday with.
The play: use the portal to acquire if you need it, and bring your regulars into your own engine. You pay once to meet them and nothing to keep them. Start today: 30 days free, no card.
What you pay: €49. What you don't: everything else
What you pay: €49/month per restaurant. 30 days free to try it with no card, no lock-in, and no commission per diner or per booking. No small print that surfaces the day you fill up.
The only third-party costs are optional and exist only if you switch them on. If you use no-show deposits, the card charge is processed by Stripe on your own restaurant's account and carries its standard payment fee, the same one you already pay with any card terminal. If you enable SMS alerts, sending them carries a messaging cost. You can run every one of your reservations without spending a euro beyond the subscription.
That's the whole map: a public, fixed, verifiable price. Try it free for 30 days, no card, and decide with the tool already running in your dining room.
The terms, made clear.
- Per-cover commission
- A charge booking marketplaces apply for each diner who sits at the table. It grows with your occupancy: the fuller you get, the more you pay. Qomanda charges no per-cover commission; it charges a flat €49/month.
- Per-booking commission
- A cost applied every time a reservation comes in, whatever the party size. Qomanda applies no per-booking commission: the fee is the same at 100 bookings as at 3,000.
- Booking marketplace
- A portal where diners search for and book restaurants, such as TheFork. It can bring you new customers in exchange for a per-diner commission, which you keep paying every time that customer returns through it. Qomanda is not a marketplace: it's your own engine, and the guest who books is yours.
- Fee-based booking software
- Reservation management software paid via a subscription fee rather than a per-diner commission, such as CoverManager. Usually an established platform, though many don't publish their price. Qomanda is fee-based too, with the price on show: €49/month per restaurant.
- First-party booking engine
- A reservation system embedded in the restaurant's own website (via an iframe, for example), where the booking and the customer data belong to the restaurant. It's Qomanda's model and the reason there are no commissions: its engine ships in 12 languages with auto-detection.
- No-show (ghost reservation)
- A reservation that is neither cancelled nor honoured, leaving the table empty. In Spain the average rate was around 3.3% in 2025, with an impact of between 5% and 20% of revenue. Qomanda fights them with SMS reminders and card deposits via Stripe.
